The game will cost $50 physically and digitally, which some people aren’t happy about. While it received a good amount of acclaim back in the day, when the title comes to Switch (and PS4), it’ll be more straightforward compared to the usual remasters and remakes we’ve been seeing these days. On top of that, multiplayer won’t be included.

Sakurai reflects on the making of Smash Bros. for 3DS / Wii U
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
Masahiro Sakurai uploaded his latest video on YouTube a short while ago, and this time around, we get to hear about the making of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U.
Late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata asked Sakurai to handle development, and he was certainly up to the task of developing two versions at the same time. Smash hadn’t been released on a portable system previously which would be unique, but its power would put a bit of a limit on the game. Meanwhile, Wii U’s power and HD output would be the main appeal. Thankfully, some of the work was made easier since the two versions could share mechanics, animation, and game balance.
